Swept Away

(Mary Chapin Carpenter/Kim Richey) I am waiting with a ticket with a carry-on People everywhere on their way, at a run Then I see you from a distance Light years later at fate's insistence Old wounds, sad scenes, love lost, bad dreams Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are Swept away, swept away, swept away You are standing by the pay phones, by the stairs I walk straight into your arms and you hold me there I am falling slowly backwards Right into your famous last words Old wounds, sad scenes, love lost, bad dreams Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are Swept away, swept away, swept away All this ancient history, every unsolved mystery Years I've carried with me, vanish when you kiss me Old wounds, sad scenes, love lost, bad dreams Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are Swept away, swept away, swept away
